Regional leadership

Metro serves more than 1.5 million people who make their home in the 25 cities and three counties at the urban heart of Oregon. Voters have asked Metro to help with the challenges and opportunities that cross city and county lines.

Shaping the future

Metro brings people together to make decisions about where we grow, how we get around and what happens to our waste. Metro guides investments in jobs, roads and transit while working to protect farms, forests and clean air and water for future generations.
